Ho will tiirry In Lincoln aovcr.il days , nnd while hero will deliver im address on some of the lending null-monopoly principle * . It ought lo bo known that nlthough Iowa hns Jrcight rates 40 per cent lower than Ne braska , the citizens of that stnto are not sat- isflcd nud think Umt they ought to hnvo still lower rates. This belief Is so deeply rooted that a special session of the legislature Is talked of for the purpose of securing further reduction in the tranipoitation of freight In uur sister stato. Larrabeo will show the why nnd wherefore for this , and it Is possible that I-nws will obtain the knowledge that will Impel another flop of the right kind. It will come too Into , Uoivovcr , to do Scott nnd Uub- cock any Rood } but his tnlk may prove a thorn that will prick latent conscience , and If so , tholr bed with the railroads and cor porations will not pi eve as the downy pil low. It is bullovcd hero thnt a talk fioin Larrabco will do n great deal of good , es pecially in behalf of railroad legislation , and thcro Is good rcnsonfor trembling among the rallrogucs ot the stale.

Stupidity occasionally manifests itself When least expected. .lust before the close of the Into meeting of the state board of transportation , Secretary Laws introduced the following "finding , " the aUornoy general nlono dissenting owing , however , to the ab- Honcoof tlio stntc ticnsuicr. It ranks us in telligence known only to Laws , Habcock and Bcott , or is u biwcu pincoof gall nnd ignor- niiec. Hut the finding speaks for Itself. It is ns follows : AVc , the board of transportation , find from ofilcial authority that the productions of the Ktato of Nebraska , including wheat , oats , rorn , cattle and hogs , are carried to market at a less rate per ton per mjlo than the same productions of the state of Iowa ; nnd that lumber and hard conl are shipped into the state at a less rate per ton pur mile thwn the Mime kind of goods tire shipped to the con- biimeis of Iowa. Wo further find that the business , done in Nebraska by the railroad companies for the year ending June 30 , 1SSS , has increased " ,291,720 tons over the business of the previ ous year , while the net earnings of the roads liavo decreased during the same time 82,280- 4S',03. That these net earnings are less than ft % per cent per annum on the capital actu- ullv invested. " \Vo further flml that the enforcement of the order of July 5 , 18S3 , would cause a re duction in the rate on some classes of freight , while It would cause a raise in others , and that only jobbers would bo bcuoutted there- l > y , who , as a rule , have remonstrated ngainst its enforcement. Therefore , bo It Resolved , That the order made by the 1x > ard on the 5th day of July , IfcSS. concern ing freight rates , bo , nnd the same is , hereby rescinded and dismissed. IN THIS 11ISTHICT COD1IT. The throe boys ot tender years , Richard Doran , Peter Johnson and Engeno Hughs , wcro brought before Judge Chapman to-day in the district court and pleaded guilty to the charge of housobreahing in open day. The Judge gave the boys a fatherly tulle nnd us- Bossed their punishment to three months each Sn the county Jail. A motion was made this mornlncr to fix bail in the case of the stntc vs. Mike and Kitty Qnmlnn.

His visit there is suggostlvo if not algniflcant. Ilo started on his eastward trip on lust TYI- day , evidently intondiug that no ono should It now whither l.o WHS going , but the shrewd Auminulalor of Mnndcrson'a senatorial can- < 9ass has been caught In a network of his own T\cavlng. It is now strongly alleged hero Umt Miuidorson In to be kept in Washington during the coming senatorial light to avoid the necessity of making pledges to his con stituency , or the legislative members who may give him their support. Thcro is no question but what proxy pledges will be inoro easily sot asldo than those made direct by the senator , who seeks to oe his own suc cessor. It is nrgucd that absence will avoid unnecessary complications and embarrass ments. And , it is furthermore stated , that Mandcrson la to be permitted to direct the nppointiuonl of Lieutenant Governor Mclklo- Jolin's committees , the chairmanship to bo conditional upon nllOKlanco and support of Mnndorson's succession aspirations , and that this little matter will bo attended to during Slaughter's present visit to the senator. This , In political circles. In talked about ns a very smooth deal , but how it will terminate is btlll a matter of the future. GUILTY OnyOT OVIUTT. Olmatcnd , of Adams , accuses TUB HUB of doing him great In Justice. Ho says his cir cular letter was grossly mlsintoiprotod , but that the construction put upon It u * pub lished did him good instead of harm wherever ho is known. During his. recent vUit in Lincoln he put a great deal of era- jitmois uKii | this statement nnd it has been noticeable , since , that a certain class of poli ticians have been trying to bolster I Is can didacy for the spoakersblp by puollcly stating that the letter as interpreted and liubliehed was a malicious assault upon a good man. Now , I have no desire to skin a political corpse , but Inasmuch as ho ills- rlalnis the motive attributed to htm. and his Irionds pat him on the buck and declare him to bu one of the Immaculate of eaith , the fnuU may just at well couio out first as last. It is not only true that Mr. Olmatoud did In tend to carry the idea attributed to the letter s published , but aoino members elect ot the house so understood it and simllovrcA Iho bait , hook and nil. Is It not a matter of fact that you ad dressed n similar letter to the ono published , to Gllchnst , ot Box Unite , and that ho replied - plied to it nnd named the chairmanship of the committee of public lauds and buildings a the price of his votol And. further , Is It not n f.ict that you wrote him in reply by return mail nrd prom ised him the committee In the event of your election 1 Mr. Olnutcnd is making- vigorous but foolhardy canvass for the sponsorship. It Is whispered hero that his career in tbo legislature some years ago was that ot a Jobber and railroad attorney. AM chatrtmn of the coinmlttco that purported to Investi gate the famous fraudulent school land leases ho made n reputation ns a white washer of Jobbers nnd boodlers. Another malodorous candidate for the speakershln Is Captain Lee , whoso record is very much like that of Olmstead. McIJrldo has done himself great harm by circulating the Thurston petition. No man elected'by the Union Pacific influence can hone for suc cess , nor can n member from Lancaster count } expect to be speaker. John I. Watson Is likely to bo the coming man because ho U from van Wyek's county , and Is under Instructions to support Van Wyt'k. Yet he Is not at nil offensive to the Iturlington road , nor to the Missouri Pacific , for that matter. Deiilpster , of Flllmoro county , who made n creditable record in the last legislature , Is the most representative man yet mentioned , but stands a very poor chance In the coming legislature. That sort of man will not be In demand with parties who rome to hiakn a stake , and thcro will bo a great many ot that class In the next legislature. Church Howe , I um told , wants to bo in ail o president pro tern of the senate. Ho llllod that oftlcc onoo , as everybody remembers , to the satisfaction of the railroad corporations and Hill Stout. OITV ST.\\S AND N'OIKS. T. J. Whlttakor , of Kearney. Huffnlo county , and John W. Conlov , of Ansloy , Cus- ter county , were commissioned notaries pub lic to day by the governor. Colonel Frank Ireland , ot Nebraska City , passed through Lincoln last evening en route to Minden , whuro ho went on important legal business. Mr. Ireland while hero stated to Tin : Hnn man that the Ihuvko will case would bo taken to the supreme court. Governor Thayc.r still linpioves , but is not yet able to leave his room. His physician says that ho is out of nil danger , and that a day or two will conclude his convalescence. This is good news to his legion of friends and admirers. Walt Seoley Is looking after the chief clerkship of the senate sharply. Editor Wells Is after him with a sharp'stlcic , and the opinion grows that Walter will bo beaten in ills attempt to foreclose the mort gage ho claims to hold on the place. Many legislators-elect would like to hear from the secretary concerning the disposition of the campaign funds. The Kmmons case is Btlll on. The supreme court did not care to hear the matter , nnd it will now come up before the district court and the defeated party will take it to the supreme premo court for final reckoning. This case hns ns mmiy lives ns nn eel. It has been cuffed about worse than an old hat. The Direct llnuto to Washington. The Baltimore ) & Ohio R. R. is Iho shortest and most direct route from Chicago nnd nil point * in the west t9 the national capital. It is the best line running vcstibuled trains from Chicago to Washington. The B. & O. Vcstibuled limited loaves Chicago daily nt 7:05 : p. in. , nnd arrives at Washington the next evening tit 9:35 : , and Baltimore at lOMo. Every car in the train is vcstibuled , in cluding bapgago cars , day conchas nnd Pullman slcopors. All the cars are heated by stoani drawn from the loco- mottvo. No extra faro is exacted for passage on this train. The Eastern Ex- prebs , leaving Chicago at 10:12-5 : p. in. , daily , has day coaches and Pullman sleepers through without change to Philadelphia via Washington and Bal timore. The Christians Excelsior. The Omaha Excelsior has Issued Its Christ mas number. This Issue can bo described as n new departure from the beaten track of holiday numbers. It contains subject matter of great interest to the citircns of Omaha , and as a publication for future reference its Ktatisticul information will bo invaluable. Figures , as a rule , are rather dry reading , but the Excelsior management have divested their production of that staleness generally associated with figures , and the readers of the Christmas Excelsior will not find its pe rusal at all tedious. The worn Is prefaced with a cleverly written "write up" of Omaha past nnd present , from the pen of E. C. Suy- der , the associate editor of the Herald. Typographically the production is faultless , nnd , the cuts of the various public buildings are splendidly executed. Rhctimiitl.sm Is undoubtedly caused by lactid acid in the blood. This acid attacks the fibrous tissues , and causes the p.iins and aches in the back , shoulders , knees , ankles , hips mid wrists. Thousands of pco- plo have found in Hood's Sarsaparilla a positive cure for rheumatism. This medicine , hy its purifying action , neu tralizes the acidity of the blood , and also builds up and strengthens the whole body. " Alleged Kmbczr.lnninnt. H. S. Madison , a man about thirty years of age , wasbrought up before Justice Wade yes terday afternoon charged with the embezzle ment of S40 belonging to W. T. P. Wood , a real cstatn man. It is claimed that Madison , while acting as Wood's ngout , made away with the money. The nccuscd is nn attorney and notary public , in business in this city. After hearing the evidence Madison was discharged. This Is the second time Mr. Wood has tried to make the charge hold against the defendant , uud failed. Annoyed 15y Sneak Thieves. Complaints have been made to the police that several potty robberies have taken place during the last few weeks at Colitral park near the Deaf and Dumb asylum.

A MYSTERIOUS SUITE OF ROOMS' Farmer Cnldwcll's California Holies Too Much SwcctnpsiVlncs nnd AVIno Vaults Foolish Proposal Mouto Cnrlo In America , The Proposed Division. SAN1 PliAXCfCO , Dec ; 11. [ Special Correspondence of THIJ Bin : . ] Repre sentative Vnudcrvcor's bill forndlvis ion of California into two states is not causing ns much enthusiasm in the southern part of the state ns Us nulhor anticipated. The loading men of that section nro generally in favor of it , but the idea is BO now to the majority of the citizens that If it wore put to n vole it would not ho carried. There is n pen- erous rivalry between the men of both sections in many pursuits , but there is nn intense love of the slate , which predominates - dominates , and tempers down all nsper- itios. Of course it is not denied that southern California , lacks full represen tation according to population , but this is the result of the clumsiness of the ap portionment laws , which determine the representation upon the has Is of the de cennial census. The immigration into bouthorn California for the past six year has greatly exceeded that Into northern California , nnd thfs has resulted in apparent injustice , but this is n temporary evil .which remedies itself. What may bo in the future I cannot say , but at pres ent it is certain that Mr. VniiUorveor's bijl docs not represent the popular wish. Wo of. the north would malco no light , for if our friends wish to leave us , it would bo foolish to work against their wibhes , and wo would railicr have them ns good neighbors than as unwilling and unfriendly citixous of the same stato. Wo liavo laughed occasionally nt their high ambitions , but we have never failed to boom their products and chant pecans in honor ol the immense progress made in San Bernardino and isati Diego. I cannot recall anything really inimical to their interests which was ever even hinted at in San Fran cisco. At present the division could not bo imulo , for Southern California , though growing fast , lias relatively u small population , lor the most part corn- nosed of poor people , and there would bo n recoil from the burdciib of separate statehood. JlUJNnUUISXl AHCHITKrTUIlE. The outgoing sheriff has had a choice bit of fun at the expeiibo of the archi tect of the city hall , that palace of the band lots where Dennis Kearney lirst an nounced that the Chinese must go. Like all structures that depend upon yearly appropriations it was built by fits and starts as money came in. and being a huge , overgrown place , it it > not extra ordinary that the biipunision was none of the closest. McMnnn was f-o enraged ut finding the sheriff's olliuo tucked nway in n corner that ho commenced in vestigating. Ho got hold of the origi nal plan and found that the Shrievalty quarters woro'four handsome rooms in a conspicuous locution. Then he com pared the map of the building , and , lo I where the four rooms should have been there was a blank wall. Ilo visited the adjoining ofllccs to find if the en trance was through them. Ko 1 there was an indisputable wall beyond which thcro was no passing. Then ho communicated his facts to the reporters , nnd they ascertained that there was u splendid row of windows corresponding with the myhterious buito pf rooms. ' Finally by fe'eling the wall they came to the conclusion that there had been four doors , but that these had been con cealed by lavish coats of plaster. Ono of the Chronicle reporters and myself called unpn Architect Lavcr , and asked for permission to explore ono of the mystic rooms by pulling down the plastering , but ho said that he would do it on his own responsibility , and ho did. Then the discovery was made thai the flooring had never been laid , and some ono that notable person "without orders hud covered up the blunder by covering up the doorways. A.s a specimen ol what , can bo done in municipal construction this is entitled to the champion'medal. r.UUIJilt CALIMVKLLS'S I'KAHS. What dp the people of Omaha think of a California pear weighing four pounds and n quarter ? A farmer from Stanislaus county brought in eight such pears and exhibited them to a friend who immediately bore them in triumph to the btnto board of trade rooms , where they have boon visited by all the horti culturists in the city , and liavo boon pronounced the crowning triumph of pomology. It must bo considered that these ponrb nro not like the coarse , woody pears of South Africa , but nro of delicious flavor and full of Juico. They hnvo been named the California Uolle pear , and this is not an inappropriate name , for California women are not waspvvaihtod by any means , but are like the goddesses of old , white armed , deep bosomed , broad hipped , nnd world boaters , and these pears nro not of the spindling variety cither , and beat Iho world also. 1 saw Mr. Caldwell , whoso ranch is near Modesto nnd ho fcaid that the people in that sec tion were going in less for wheat than they used , and paying more attention to fruit and other products. Ilo him- Bolf thought well of cotton , but com bined that with fruit raising , especially pears , lemons and oranges. Ho told mo that lust year 0,000 orange trees wore planted in the county , and that though hoas the only ono that had tried cotton , his success had been so great that his neighbors were going to plant seed. Each ono would devote live acres to the experiment. The feeling against ono culture was very btrong , and every man made it n rule to diversify his planting as much as possi ble. The inon of that section hnvo just finished a big canal , which will irrigate " 50,000 iicros , nnd the consequence is that lani has jumped up in value from $1)0 ) an aero to 8100 and $150. Mr. Caldwell showed mo eomo cotton , and it seemed superior to Texas cotton. There can bo no doubt that the Stanislaus re gion will bo ono of the most thriving in iho state , nnd that the culture of eoHon will bo n source ol wealth to the whole community. TOO MUCH SWBCTNKSg. A tramp steamer arrived from Java recently having on board 8,600 tons of sugar in the raw stage , consigned to the American Refinery company , This concern is ono of those that belong to Huvcmoyor'B combination in Brooklyn , and between it and the California sugar refinery , belonging to the Snrookols family , there iu war , bitter war , The latter is a boot root concern , started to nmko sugar cheaper than it can bo , made from tho. cane. The former gen erally gets its supplies from tbo Suml-1 wich islands , but as the company hud j CONTRADICTION. To Ic paid for l if tJic CHICAGO We beg to notify the public that the ar ticle published in the above mentioned pa per , Nov. J6th , 1888 , concerning the SWEET CAPORAL CIGARETTE , IS NOT TRUE. Sweet Caporal Cigarettes and Tobacco arc made from the best natural leaf , in the clean est and most careful manner , and contain NO Opium , or Morphine , or any delectcrious drug. This we will publicly prove in a Court of Law , and will hold that paper responsible for all dam ages , INCLUDING THE EXPENSE OF THIS PUBLICATION. KINNEY TOBACCO CO , , lorU , vosolvod on lowering prices to malco Ihingi interesting for the boils of Clans Spreckols nnu thinr by no means re vered parent , it was foreseen that the supply from that bource would bo insuf- llcicnt , so 7,000 tons were ordered by telegraph from .Invu. Thelirst batch cumo by this tramp stcunicr , calloil the "Westmenth. Whilst it way being un loaded on the do''k the sug.uwns wi/oil by the cu&lom house on the pli a that it was of superior quality to the specifica tion in the-invoice. It was invoiced aj 88 degrees on the saci'liaromotcr. and ho ' lory goc- < that in reality it rates nt iWl degrees. It isnUo tuted that as the color is in agreement with the invoiced degree of sweetness , it imibt have boon blenched on purpose to deceive the cus tom house olllciuls. All this may ln true , but it is certain that the infurmn- tion upon which the sef/.uro was inndo came from the Sproekels , who are notoriously trade rivals of the American "Refinery company. The chnrnuler ot thejo men for intrigue is well known from California to Brook lyn , and the custom house head ought lo have booh very careful that in his /.cnl to do his duty he did not become the tool of designing men. Priinn facie , the color showed that the sugar was what it purported to be , and an exami nation chcmicully could easily have been made without having recourse to the extreme measure of soi/.ing the sugar. It would have boon ea y to do the latter at any stage of the proceed ings , or to recover from the concern , which is eminently a stable one , any dues or lines which Undo Sam was en titled to receive. It was no part of the duty of the custom house to imiko com mon cause with Iho Sprockets against a rival , and to embarrass the trade opera tions of the Amqriuan Refinery com pany by seizing supplies , which were needed to keep tha works going. JTlio whole thiiii.r has an evil look , but it shows that the system of ad valorem duties invite- , wrong doing and facilit ates false accusations , as has been proved a thousand times. A. FOOLISH I'UOI'OPAL. An elTort is being made hero in San Francisco , by nmie people who ought to know bettor , to establish great \\ino collars for our wines in Now York and Chicago. The reason alleged is that it is being done bj the Hungarians , who have formed a company for the creation of enormous cellarage at I3udn-ljesth , because they suffer from the same evil as we do. Their wines are bought up by speculators at an immature stage , are sophisticated and fixed , and are thrown upon the market to the discred iting of Hungarian vintages. If men of San Francisco wish to follow the ex ample of the Hungarians they will con struct big cellars , but in this city , for I notice that the Tokays will be stored in Buda-Peslh , not in Paris nnd London. Chicago and Now York arc to our winemakers makers what Paris nnd London are to the nur.garinn wine makers. The idea of cellars is a good one , undoubtedly , but it would bo ruin to locate" them in Now York or Chicago , because wines will not mature there in consequence of the severity of the climate. We must have more cellarage in San Fran cisco for our maturing wines , audio have other cellars in Chicago and New York for a trade that deus not exist would bo the height of folly. Nothing will create ti class of private customers for California wines save the power of bonding samples through the mail. At present there are few private gentle men in America who hnvo wine collars , but the rage for fol lowing English models is so strong that it will le done sooner or later. An English gentleman of means has in variably good wino at his country house if nowhere else. Ho has port , sherry , claret and champagne. Let him spend as much money as he will ho cannot have as good port as Califoriunns , nor can ho havn as good sherry , but ho drinks neither until it hus been ten years in his cellar. His claret he lays down in a good year , bin ing enough to last him n lifetime , and ns the cli- male of England is equable and the cellars well built , the odds are that he can oiToi- his friends a better glass of ehirot than any wino dealer in 156r- deanx can produce. His chninpagno , of course , ho buys as he wants it , for it does not improve by keeping , and is as. good a year nftor disgoi'L'ing as ityill over bo. Now hero is u system which demands time mid cannot bo improvi/cd , . nnd yet the Anglo-maniacs of Now York want to have n collar oxlomuoro , and it cannot bo done. There is no liu-k of ports in line condition , nnd nf mellow sherries in California. In fact , it is admitted that the vintages of Onortp and Xeros will not compare with what is made at Anaheim nnd north ward from that point. , Hara/.thy's champagne is more full bodied , more fruity , more effervescent than the host that can bo found in the Hheolms col- lard. Krug 1ms a Zinsfuiidul of true claret quality. Lufrano has u white wino that is a genuine Sautorno. If samples could bo Bant through the mails , Iho wino drinkers of Tiftcodo Park mid Newport would have their wnnts supplied in short order , but the hitch is there for samples cannot bo sent by mall. 3IONTK CAltf.O I.V AMKUICA. Some months ago I wrote to you that nn American syndicate was desirous of establishing n Monti ) Cnrlo in the City ol Mexico , but that Porllrio Din/ ob jected to the location. Ho said that ho would willingly grant n franchise for the purpose in some out of the way plnco In Mexico , but that ho would not permit anything of the kind in any largo center - tor of population because it wauld have a bad otfoot on the industrious who were contented with small earnings. This answer made the members of the syndi cate rolled a littleand they concluded that it would bo more to their Intoronts to locate thulr paluco of fortune nsi near as possible lo the California ! ! line than to nave it in Moxico'n capital. They ro- Bolved to accept the conditions laid down by his excellency , and huvo obtained n franchise for any spot which they may designate in Lower California. The boundary iiue botvveou the United States and Mexico is not far from San IMugo , nnd the syndicate have fixed upon n village in Mexico called Tia Juaim , which in r.nglish means Aunt.Iano. nud is more or less a rcllrction upon the virtao of the ladles thereof , it ig , however , close to the boundary line , nnd is in a mo-t picturesque valley of the Coast range. The company has boon organ ized , and has Iho privilege of selling lottery tiokoti. As the charter oi the Louisiana State lottery expires in two year : ' , the Tia .Inami company believes itself on the high road to fortune , nnd it may be. A million dollars' has boon subscribed for preliminary expanses , putting lip buildings , oreotiug a hotel for invalids ( save the mark ) , laying out gardens , cio. ; several millions may bo neccsa-iry to build a branch 11 no from San Diego to Aunt June ; nud n bank of five millions must be piled up for busi ness purposes in nil n total of $10.000.- 000 for this most uoblo purpose. It will bo observed that the customers will I como from this country , but the plnco will bo under the protection of Motlcnn laws. Lots of Caliiornmus will go there and lose their money , nnd I shall bens foolish as anyone ulso , for gambling is in the Californian's blood. Neverthe less , I don't like the scheme. I shall have no scruple in winning the bank' * money , butjiot for the universe would I hold stock in the qompany nnd rczeivo dividends wet with the blood and spat tered with the brains of wretched sui cides. OT.D TIMES ONTJ5 MOUK. The pioneers , especially the forty- niners , who wear their golden bear badges so triumphantly , are more excited - cited over the fact that "the Mondocino stage has been hold up than they are by the near prospocl of receiving $ ; > 00,000 from the Lick trust. Once upon a lime u man wns hardly allowed to open his mouth in genteel society in Ibis city iinless-ho had been ordered to hold his bauds un by a road ngont , but those gen try sohiom troubled the quiet , out of the way slago line along the coast to Russian river. The great question that agitates the eocioty of the pioneers is whether the robber who did the trick was or was not Black Bart. Who Black Bart is no one knows. ButthcMcndocino stngo was rpbbod some years ago in Iho same locality , and the road -agent loft a poem signed Black Bart as a sort of re- oeipt for Che mail and express box. On the present occasion the stage was bowling along comfortably at the rate of six miles an hour , and every one was enjoying the cool breeze coming in from the Pacific when the horses came to a dead stop , and n man with a mablc on his face ordered the driver lo throw down the express box of Wells ft Fargo and the mail bags. As a revolver aimed ut his head gave force to the request , the driver could do noth ing suvo comply. The robber bowed politely to Iho passengers , who looked on in amazement , said it wus a fine day , and that there were good prospects of oil in Sonoma ( which is the neighbor ing county to Mondocino ) , and when the third bag of mail had boon thrown to him motioned to the driver to proceed. Subsequently the opened let ters were found on the same spot , and it is calculated that ho got about $1.400 booty from the mail bags , and $700 in gold from the ex press bo.y. I really cannot say why it is that Californinns are not angry about such things , but it is a fact that there is n certain liking nnd oven respect for such men , and if Black Bart confines himself to the usual booty of the road agent and doesn't molest passengers , no one throughout the coast range would over furnish any particulars that would lead to his capture. Still his poetry was infamous , worse , if possible , than Gcorgo Francis Train's , and if his po liteness wcro one whit less high toned , his voroes would bo his undoing. TIG.
